Resumo
Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar como as percepções dos estudantes sobre a qualidade dos serviços universitários influenciam a assimilação de ferramentas de inteligência artificial (IA) no ensino superior, considerando os efeitos moderadores de idade, gênero, nível de estudo e país de estudo.
Metodologia: Adotou-se uma abordagem quantitativa, com coleta de dados por meio de survey aplicada a estudantes do ensino superior. Os construtos foram operacionalizados com base em escalas consolidadas na literatura, incluindo dimensões da qualidade percebida dos serviços e assimilação de IA. Os dados foram analisados por meio de testes de confiabilidade e validade, análise de correlação e análise de moderação para verificação das hipóteses propostas.
Resultados: Os resultados indicam que a qualidade percebida dos serviços universitários exerce efeito positivo e significativo sobre a assimilação da inteligência artificial pelos estudantes. Além disso, variáveis moderadoras como idade, gênero, nível de estudo e país influenciam parcialmente essa relação, evidenciando a relevância de fatores demográficos e contextuais na adoção de tecnologias emergentes no ensino superior.
Originalidade/Contribuições: O estudo contribui para a literatura ao integrar os conceitos de qualidade de serviços e assimilação de inteligência artificial em um modelo teórico unificado, ampliando as discussões sobre adoção tecnológica no contexto educacional. Ademais, fornece evidências empíricas sobre o papel de variáveis moderadoras, oferecendo subsídios para a formulação de estratégias institucionais voltadas à promoção de ambientes educacionais orientados por IA.
